Hawksbill Sea Turtle play a crucial role in marine ecosystems. It feeds on sponges, which compete with corals for space on reefs. By controlling the sponge population, it helps corals grow and thrive, maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.
Their shells, patterned in amber and gold, are so unique and beautiful that they have been coveted for centuries for jewellery and ornaments. Unfortunately, this practice has brought the hawksbill turtle to the brink of extinction. Today, it is protected internationally, and its conservation is key to preserving marine biodiversity.
